HOTEL CIPRIANI RISTORANTE

Rio De Janeiro

The Hotel Cipriani Restaurant, which is open for both lunch and dinner, offers the very best of north Italian cuisine in the heart of Rio. Chef Franceso Carli prepares traditional as well as more innovative dishes including his delicious Risotto di Zucca Profumato al Rosmarino and Maccheroncini con Pomodoro Melanzane e Tonno. Carli is delighted, although not surprised, with the quality of the ingredients he has found in Brazil and only supplements local ingredients with imported items, such as Italian oils and wines, when the Brazilian equivalent would compromise the authenticity and flavour of the dish, guaranteeing that the dishes prepared at the Hotel Cipriani Restaurant in Rio are as identical as possible to those found at the Cipriani in Venice. 'All the dishes I serve are freshly prepared for each client. Even the pasta is made on a daily basis, something that sadly is rare in Italy today,' Carli says. For a special night out, there's no place like The Copacabana. Palace and at Cipriani's, always a top contender for Rio's best restaurant, every dinner guest receives five-star treatment
